Muscle Motors

Just heard Muscle Motors is going out of business. Just wondering if it is true.

Call them and ask? They just came out with a new block so unless something blew up on them financially I can't see why they would shut down the business. If they were going to close the doors they would not have invested a ton of money into tooling up a new block casting.

I would hope not with them introducing the new cast iron hemi/ RB block, but who knows.

Heard the same a few weeks ago .

Hope not. Buddy of mine is wanting to order a small block stroker kit from them.

I've been trying to place a order for one of the new blocks for over a month now and I am NOT having good luck getting that done
Man, I hope they can hang in there and get those blocks out to us Ho pi fanatics and racers

They been good to me.

I've been using Muscle Motors so long they know me by name when I call Sure hope it's not true, always had positive dealings with them. Still have a set of Stage 6 heads I got from them sometime in the mid to early 90's I think.

Man I hope not. So you started this thread, you need to call and find out😉

It was a completely different place when Senator was there and involved.
Now, people in this area( which is near them) generally stay away from that place.

The blocks are available through Chicago Connection also. Bill has been a longtime Mopar Performance dealer. 773-229-0655.

Ray Barton Racing Engines is also selling the Blocks. Call for pricing -- 610-693-5700

We can also supply the Blocks

Just spoke with Mike this morning and yes the rumors are true. Him and Eric are calling 29 years in business a career and are shifting focus to taking care of their Elderly parents.

And as already posted here, THE Block is available thru other outlets. They never owned it. Mike just wanted to make sure it got made, for the better of the hobby and future motors can be built.

guess we're all showing our age these days.... MM was a great supplier of all things mopar for many years. While I had some good and some "so-so" dealings with them, it was nice of them to serve the mopar market.

I wish them the best. Mike, Eric and Chuck Senator from back in the day have always been very easy to work with. It's good to hear the blocks will still be available I Can't wait to get me hands on one

Aw that's too bad. Wish them well.
They did have the best T shirts, over the last few years.

Thats a bummer... I only dealt with them a couple
of times.. but I talked to them a bit more often

Has anyone compared this new block to the old siamize Mopar Mega wedge block ? I have a guy that has a new Mega available - bore is at 4.20" and sonic checks good. Any idea what that should go for ?

Probably 3 or 4 grand if it's perfect, just taking a guess based on what I've seen

I just bought a big Hemi from them. Hummm.... I hope I don't have any problems with it.

Thanks to all of you that posted the information on the other vendors that can supply these new race blocks
I'll contact all three of them and see what I can find out about time, price and supply
Any one know who is casting them or the proper name of these new race blocks

Yes,muscle motors has closed the doors.Marsh performance is a dealer for several block manufacturers. http://www.mopartsracing.com/tmc/

It didn't come across that way to me. I recall a picture of Mike pointing to "MM" even being cast into the block. Better it can still be bought than going down with the Muscle Motors ship.

If I listened correctly, Mike told me that Chicago Connection is one of the dealers for the block.

RIP

29 years in this business, specializing in only one brand(and that brand not being Chevy), is a pretty good run.

I wish them luck in their future endeavors.

...that's like 60 years in dealing with "mopar guys"

Yeah, selling parts to Mopar guys for 25 years would make anyone old.

Yeah it is like dog years!!!

That makes you a dirty DOG!,,,,,,,,,LOL

Wish them the best! Bought a 451 kit and they did the machine work on the block. They always remembered my name and treated me like gold, great work and a really great street motor. A Class Act!

What a bummer, times are changing.

Not sure about now but they had some decent deals on some parts on ebay, I snagged some pistons.
